“Only in contemplation of [water] do I achieve true self-forgetfulness and feel my own limited individuality merge into the universal”

Thomas Mann

What would the world be, once bereft | Of wet and of wildness?

Let them be left, | O let them be left, wildness
and wet; | Long live the weeds and the wilderness
yet.

Gerard Manley Hopkins Inversnaid 1918

Water sustains all Life.

Her songs begin in the tiniest raindrops,
transform to flowing rivers, travel by majestic
oceans and thundering clouds, and back to
earth, to begin again. When water is threatened,
all living things are threatened.
